Question

find the slope-intercept form for the line satisfying the following x-intercept 2, y-intercept 2/5

Answer 1

the x intercept is the point where y = 0
the y intercept is the point where x = 0
can you write the two points?

Answer 2

(2,0),(0,2/5)

Answer 3

right, not to write the eq of line, you need a slope and a y intercept
they already gave you the y intercept all you need is the slope.
can you find it given the two points?

Answer 4

y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 5

y=1x+0

Answer 6

(2/5) - 0/ 0 - 2 = -1/5

Answer 7

-1/5 is the slope , the y intercept is 2/5, just substitute into y = mx + b

Answer 8

i don't get it

Answer 9

y = -1/5x + 2/5

Answer 10

what part dont you get?

Answer 11

it just seemed more difficult than it really is.

Answer 12

thanks
